The shock and terrible grief involved in losing Sean was a blow I am still recovering from, and probably will be for the rest of my life. No one, not even his doctor, suspected he had cancer until it was too late. Kathleen Morgan: In June 1996, after a very short illness, my youngest son, Sean, died of a fast-growing, virtually hidden cancer. Would you be willing to share a little about that time? How did that time influence where you are today in your faith? I started writing again, and haven't stopped yet, almost 19 years later.įocus: Eight years ago, you faced an excruciating loss in the death of your youngest son, and came to a real crossroad in your spiritual walk. Then, after reading an article in a magazine on romance writers, something clicked. In time, my love of books evolved into writing stories that were probably the usual for girls my age-horse and other animal stories.įrom second grade on, though, I wanted to be a nurse, so writing as a profession never entered my mind, or at least not until I was in my thirties and home with two toddlers. I remember one quarterly report card, in third grade I believe, where my teacher noted I had turned in 21 book reports. Focus: Kathleen, thanks so much for joining us! Would you begin our interview by telling our readers when you first became interested in writing? Did you enjoy stories as a child? Or was it later in life that your interest surfaced?
